Chapter 374 I Established a Sect in the Cultivation World (Part 3)
That shout of "Blood Spirit Grass" was like a bucket of cold water being poured into boiling oil, causing an immediate uproar.
All the team members turned their attention to that corner.
Danxiu, who is called Lao Li, is actually named Li Ming. He is the youngest plant pharmacologist in China. He is in his thirties and usually acts like a retired cadre.
At that moment, he lay on the ground like a child, holding the small grass stained with blood in his hands, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
"It really is Blood Spirit Grass!"
"The 'Common Spiritual Plants of the Cangyun Realm' given by the sect leader is classified as a low-grade Xuan-level plant!"
"Its effects are... to revitalize qi and blood, to break down and rebuild, and it is the main ingredient for refining the 'Blood Burning Pill'!"
Several members of the Pill Hall rushed over, each pulling out a magnifying glass-like device and bringing it close to the small plant.
A pale blue light swept across the instrument's lens, and strings of data were rapidly refreshed on the inside of the lens.
"Aura activity reading: 17.4! That's nearly 30% higher than the standard value on the chart!"
"The plant is 98% intact! The roots are undamaged! It can be transplanted intact!"
Li Ming's face flushed with excitement. He carefully took out a jade box and a small jade shovel from his backpack and shouted to the young man next to him, "Quick, get the 'Spirit-Solidifying Liquid'! Spray it on the surrounding soil; we need to dig it up along with the soil!"
"Old Li, are you crazy! You only brought three bottles of Spirit-Stabilizing Liquid, which are used to preserve thousand-year-old spiritual herbs!" a companion shouted.
"What thousand-year-old elixir could be more important than this?" Li Ming's eyes widened. "This is our first sample of wild Xuan-rank medicinal herbs! Its data value far exceeds its medicinal value! Quickly!"
The surrounding combatants looked at this group of alchemists and were all as if they had been injected with chicken blood, completely forgetting their fatigue from the previous battle and their own injuries.
"Over there! I think I see 'Edelweiss'!"
"And this one! Its leaves are three-lobed, and its stems are thorny—it's the 'Spirit Vine'!"
"My God, this...this is practically an open-air herb garden!"
The team members then noticed that the land beneath their feet was covered with various rare spiritual plants that were marked as precious in the records.
Some even grow in the cracks of rocks, and because they are so common, no one noticed them at all.
Zhou Jue looked at them, a smile playing on his lips. All the experts who came were both gifted with spiritual roots and had passed the assessment. He was really looking forward to seeing what kind of amazing things they could create by combining modern methods with the arts of cultivation and alchemy.
On the other side, Cheng Gan had already gathered with several core combat personnel.
Zhao Sizhe ignored the flowers and plants. He squatted down and used a dagger to quickly draw the battlefield terrain and the positions of both sides on the damp soil.
"Let's review the situation." Cheng Gan's voice pulled everyone back from the excitement of discovering resources.
“There’s a big problem.” A special forces member who was the leader of the sword formation said in a deep voice. He used the language of the Cangyun Realm fluently, and sounded like a native: “Our Heavenly Gang Sword Formation was originally designed to defend against a full-force attack from a late-stage Golden Core cultivator. But that giant ape just now was only at the mid-stage Golden Core level, and it almost broke our formation with one punch.”
“It’s demonic power.” Zhao Sizhe pointed to the simple sand table on the ground: “Or rather, under the same level, demons are stronger than humans, but humans are better at thinking and cooperating than demons.”
"It's also possible that we lack practical experience, and our actual combat strength is lower than our actual level. This needs further verification," Zhao Sizhe added.
“And that leopard.” Cheng Gan’s face was cold. “Its speed exceeded all of our expectations. If I hadn’t been closest to Elder Zhao, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Our perimeter has loopholes.”
“I suggest that, in addition to the regular sentries, we add two more hidden sentries to specifically monitor high-speed moving targets,” a scout suggested.
“Agreed.” Cheng Gan nodded. “Also, the coordination of the long-range firepower group. The water arrow and the thunderbolt were well coordinated just now, but that’s just an isolated case. We need a standardized combo process. Water overcomes fire, and thunder increases the power of water. These basic principles of the five elements must be integrated into everyone’s combat instincts.”
They talked back and forth, completely absorbed in the tactical discussion.
Everyone is using the language of this world to discuss the fighting methods of this world.
The shift in mindset was quietly completed at this moment.
Zhou Jue listened quietly without interrupting.
On one side are researchers who are as enthusiastic as if they have discovered a new continent.
On the other side are the combat personnel who are calmly reviewing the situation and identifying shortcomings.
The tension and relaxation were perfectly integrated.
"very good."
Zhou Jue stepped forward, and his clear voice made everyone on both sides stop what they were doing and look over.
"To perform like this in my first real battle has exceeded my expectations."
Her gaze swept over the crowd, her voice filled with certainty.
"Although many problems were exposed, such as the sword formation not being strong enough and the coordination not being smooth enough, the most important thing was that when facing three Golden Core stage demonic beasts, no one retreated and no one panicked."
"Remember this: the Xuantian Sect will encounter stronger enemies and face more dangerous situations in the future."
"But as long as we, the 101 of us, are still standing together, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome."
Her words, though not harsh, were like a warm current flowing into the weary bodies of each team member.
The team members, who had been tense just moments before, now had genuine smiles on their faces.
They won the battle, discovered resources, and even gained the sect leader's approval.
At this moment, everyone's sense of accomplishment and belonging reached its peak.
Li Ming, accompanied by several alchemists, carefully carried over several jade boxes, as if presenting treasures.
"Sect Master! What a great find! Besides the Blood Spirit Grass, we've discovered seventeen other spiritual herbs recorded in the atlas, as well as over thirty unknown plant samples, all of which need to be taken back for analysis!"
Zhou Jue nodded and looked at the disciples of the General Affairs Hall who were dissecting the monster's corpse.
"How's the material collection going?"
"Reporting to the Sect Master!" A disciple stood up, his face a mixture of excitement and distress: "This giant ape's hide is too thick; several of our alloy daggers have been dulled! Its bones are ridiculously hard, definitely excellent material for forging magical artifacts! And that leopard's tendons are extremely resilient; they can be used to make bowstrings!"
The whole scene was filled with the joy of a bountiful harvest.
Just as everyone was immersed in this joy and began to calculate how much benefit this harvest would bring to the sect.
Zhou Jue cleared her throat and spoke again, her voice instantly drowning out all the noise.
"I have chosen the location for my sect."
The noisy woodland fell silent instantly.
A hundred pairs of eyes focused on Zhou Jue, filled with shock, anticipation, and a hint of bewilderment.
Sect address?
So fast?
Zhou Jue looked at them and said, "You have three minutes to pack up everything of value."
"As for the demonic beasts, I will put them away for now. Once we arrive at the sect, the disciples who specialize in weapon crafting can begin to research spatial equipment such as storage bags and storage rings."
"We'll set off in three minutes."
"Head to Xuantian Sect."
